First time indoor - White rhino, WW x Sweettooth and White rhino!

[Greenisgreen]

First attempt.

So, I got my order from sea of seeds a few weeks back. Due to limited space I only decided to germinate the Auto superbud, ww x sweettooth and the White Rhino from greenhouse.

Lights:

85watt CFL 6500k
150watts LED
36watts LED

Medium:

3 parts peat
1 part compost
20% perlite

Germination
The seeds were soaked in a cup of water for 12hrs. Then were planted into the growing medium.

After 72 hrs the Superbud Auto and ww x sweettooth broke soil!
(The White rhino failed to germinate, the seeds was in bad shape upon delivery)

Towards the end of week 1 of growth..

End of week 2

End of week 2

Day 7:

I can see the second set of true leaves emerge.

Checked the pH from run off and both are at 6.5, seems fine to me.
I haven't started fertilizing, infact haven't added anything to the medium not even dolomite.

I was wondering whether I should start feeding the plant in a few days... available choices: 18-18-18 Schultz Rapid grow water soluble or 30-10-10 (only Foliar) feed available.

Can foliar feed be used as the primary source of nutrients? or only supplementary?

Peat lowers PH and you seem to have very little in your mix to buffer your plants. My soil does not have any lime either but I have to PH adjust my water solution. Make sure when you start to fertilize you watch your pH.

Will make a note of that. I should have checked the pH when I watered them today...! The plants were showing deficiencies so they were given mild nutes. The new sprout is the white widow.

No problem, Maybe one of the more experienced growers will pass through and know exactly what is going on. You can look in my signature and check out my current grow I am not sure if it will help at all.
